Appearance and portrait direction
Photorealistic vertical 4:5 tutor profile portrait. An original fictional adult aged 35-49. Feminine presentation. Photorealistic portrait of a professional woman in her early 40s with warm intelligent eyes and neatly styled dark hair, wearing a smart emerald green blazer, sitting in a cozy sunlit study filled with bookshelves, soft natural lighting. Professional, welcoming teaching presence, fully clothed, nonsexual, distinct face, natural expression, detailed subject-relevant background, centered head-and-shoulders composition, clear even lighting, no text, no logo, no watermark, no resemblance to a real public figure.
